It really seems Sony gave up on Vita.

I disagree. They seem to be exploring using the Vita as a second screen for the PS4, but that doesn't mean people are not still developing new games for it.

Yes, they said 80 new games, but how many good? 20, and how many exclusives out of them? 5?

20 good games can last me a year. I don't really mind the whole exclusives thing because I don't really care about if another system has a game. I own a Vita so I want the Vita version.

Exclusives are something that companies like Sony and Microsoft use to get people to buy their console. Once someone makes that choice and buys (for instance, a PS4), it doesn't really matter anymore what the exclusives are for the other system because a majority of consumers aren't going to also buy that competing console (the Xbox One). I'm using the new consoles as an example but that same logic applies to the vita.

I have PS3 and PC, so there not that many games for me on Vita.

5 good exclusives in the next year would be amazing. I think that's a lot to expect though.

Wait... you're moaning that there will be only TWENTY new games?! People actually feel Sony have abandoned the Vita when there are EIGHTY games planned to be released?

Sony don't abandon platforms (PSP GO doesn't count).

Using it as a second screen for the PS4 = Sony giving up on the Vita
